HATCH

In 2006, artists in Hamtramck, MI formed Hatch: A Hamtramck Art Collective, focusing on a mission of Education, Expression, & Exhibition. Hatch rapidly expanded and acquired a building in 2008. Over four years, renovations and fundraising transformed it into the Hatch Art Center. The Gallery opened in 2012, and the center offers studios, a classroom, darkroom, workshop, and installation spaces. In 2016, Hatch acquired Hamtramck Disneyland, preserving and enhancing the folk-art site. Today, Hatch thrives as a community-focused institution, welcoming all to join their journey.I juggle various roles at Hatch, from crafting promotional materials (both print and web) to handling social media across platforms like Facebook and Instagram. I have a studio on the second floor, and typically maintain Sunday Gallery hours.
